WATERING TROUGHS

17A c k w o r t h

Large and growing families need look no further than this spacious, contemporary five-bedroom detached property in the sought-after village of Ackworth.

To say that the proud new owners of this property will never be short of space is an

understatement. It boasts an open-plan kitchen-diner and separate living area, plus large rear conservatory so you’ll be spoilt for choice on where to entertain and relax in comfort.

Ackworth is renowned as an ideal family

location with a calm village feel boasting every amenity you could need. This property is located right in the heart of the action, being walkable to all the shops, pubs, parks and schools. You’ll be set for life with this excellent example of a forever home.

The Family Home

The owner’s own visionHomes with a story to tell are always

the best.

The history of this property began a

quarter of a century ago when the

current owners purchased the land

and set about building their dream

home. Once you have viewed the

place for yourself, you’ll appreciate

the bespoke design focused on idyllic

family living.

A chic and cosy two-bedroom

annexe, which once was the main

garage connected to the property,

is ideal for use as separate guest

accommodation or for another

generation of wider family to

permanently live in.

Aptly named Watering Troughs,

located by a stream which runs

across the front garden, it was once a

popular drinking stop for horses back

when the land was used for local

farming.

Ackworth is a fantastic

village to live in. Even now,

we are discovering more

fantastic walks that are on

our doorstep.

“”

A warm welcomeBehind the front door lies a beautiful, bright and spacious hallway with classic and minimalistic charm.

The open staircase to the left hosts useful storage underneath and as you’d expect, there’s a WC on the ground floor. The impressive lounge is through to your right.

Families and friends will love to gather in the vast lounge, which has ample floor space for large furniture. An appealing blend of neutral décor, decorative gas stove and natural wooden floor helps the space retain a cosy and inviting ambience ready to put your own stamp on.

Heart of the homeThe kitchen at the opposite side of the house is equally impressive in size.

After originally being built as a separate kitchen and dining room, it was later knocked through to create an open plan L-shaped space.

Contemporary classic shaker style units that will stand the test of time are complemented by natural coloured granite worktops and low maintenance wooden flooring.

Spotlights continue in here from the hallway, which adds to the minimalistic, light and airy feel throughout the house.

Keen chefs will appreciate the amount of worktop space, double oven and space for an oversized American style larder fridge-freezer complete with an ice dispenser.

You won’t be short of space to dine either, with room for a large table and chairs ahead of the double doors leading through to the conservatory.

The kitchen was an

expensive project

but we designed it

in a way that would

ensure it stood the

test of time.

“”

The view to outsideOff the kitchen to the rear of the

house lies a brick-base conservatory

which was added to extend the

property more than a decade ago.

Traditional in style and finished with

a terracotta tiled floor, this space

is a perfect retreat after a stressful

day at work, or to use as a playroom

depending on the dynamics of

your family.

The conservatory opens up beautifully for special

occasions. You can host really comfortably and there’s

room for everyone to sleep here too – it’s just been a

fantastic family home.

“”

Planning permission is already in

place should you want to extend this

up to a second floor and add two sets

of bi-folds stretching across the entire

width of the wall to really bring the

outdoors in.

The footprint of the house may be

significant, but it is not detrimental to

the size of the garden.

A square patio area perfect for your

outdoor furniture is accessible through

the kitchen, leading on to a large

secluded lawn surrounded by mature

trees, offering a private haven to relax

and unwind.

If the garden space isn’t quite enough

for the kids, the back gate opens

directly out onto the local park where

the outdoor fun can continue. From

here, you’re just a hop, skip and a jump

from a safe children’s playground and

playing fields.

And to the bedrooms…As you’d expect from a five-bedroom home, there’s plenty of room for the family to grow.

The master bedroom has ample storage space, with built-in wardrobes and cupboards surrounding the bed and marble tiled en-suite shower room.

An added luxury for guests comes in the form of a second en-suite bathroom in bedroom two. The further three bedrooms continue the theme of neutral classic decor with good quality carpets fitted, ready for a new family to move straight in.

If as in the case of the current owners all the bedrooms are not required, they’ve opted to use them for office space, walk-in wardrobes and nurseries for younger children. The upstairs space offers great versatility and scope for changes to suit the needs of your family.

Instant wow factorFreshen up in the luxury of the main family bathroom.

Floor to ceiling white marble-effect tiles create an instant wow factor coupled with the grey freestanding slipper bath tub.

The space has been beautifully designed to a hotel standard with traditional finishing touches and luxurious fittings including a chrome column towel rail, high cistern ‘Victorian style’ toilet and vanity unit with marble top housing the sink.

Additional annexeOnce you’ve stepped outside of the main house, so much more awaits in the two-storey annexe which, although adjoining the front of the property, has its own side entrance with a pretty courtyard garden.

This versatile addition is its own contained home boasting an open plan living space. A modern country shaker style kitchen complete with a range cooker and oak finishing touches is in keeping with the family home, and follows through to the lounge featuring patio doors for plenty of natural light.

An additional room, currently set up as a dining area with a shower wet room off it, has the potential to be used as a second bedroom.

Head up the open staircase to find the master suite. This main bedroom is almost a studio in itself with room for both a double bed and corner sofa for relaxing and looking out to the field views.

There’s so many different ways you can utilise the annexe.

We’ve changed it round a few times and you could easily

keep doing it.“ ”
